> Not understandable otherwise, as everything you post online is available for anyone to do with as they choose anyhow. Russia is a country that heavily censores the internet and opresses its own people. That's a good enough reason.

I won't use Lightsale precisely because it exists. While AWS is a great collection of services, it is needlesly complicated to use and at times very frustrating. Using it at work is fine since the span of services is so wide I can forg

They're counting on the city, state and national government to bail them out at some point. Not a literal money bailout, but a "save the citizens" campaign to build massive dykes, move buildings or invest in pumps.

To me it's equally funny how it's ok to group one side into wimpy liberal arts students (you forgot their MacBooks and lattes!) and the others into ex-pats. These days it's like superhuman to be able to look at an issue from

Bioshock Infinite is one of the most acclaimed games in the last few years and only two from 2013 are rated better. It has a 94% Metacritic rating and was declared a 10/10 game by dozens of reviewers. No idea about profitability, but i

Can anyone answer what DevOps actually is? Like in practice? Every single definition I saw is just buzzwords, and inconsistent at that.

It's always a difficult subject and I feel bad if I'm ever called a racist, but there's no rational way for me to think counter to the things I saw. I'm absolutely 100% sure I saw something many times. My friends did, my

Where did OP imply that? He said it's a cultural thing and that's something you're not born with. From my own experience and dealing with NGO's that are trying to turn the tide, I can witness the same.

Not sure if Johnny Bravo and Cow and Chicken were good influences, but Dexter's Laboratory and Powerpuff Girls, while very visually busy, definitely did make an impact on me.

Low density remote developments or just typical suburbs cause higher pollution, higher service costs, segregation, hurt smaller businesses and have a negative impact on health. Modern urbanism is very opposed to urban sprawl because of thos

I agree that Nokia was too slow to compete, but they had massive advantages over both Apple and Google and with good guidance could've survived successfully. Even years after the iPhone came out, Nokia outsold Apple, had a bigger R&amp
